I know. I'm just adding my points about SUVs. Surprisingly it fit though. I see some big ass SUV like the Suburban parking in compact spot. Now, that's horrible.

i am very happy to sell jeeps.. there is a huge market we deal with that buys them for what they are made for... its pretty fun bs'ing about the experiences they've had in previous jeeps and such... then there is the market that just buys them for a daily driving and luxury (overland...) that cant step up to something more expensive (/w gobs more luxury)..

Not much of a difference in power but the torque curve is where the $$$ lies. I like SUVs with nice big powerful looking grills (Escalade).

i saw a murano today, rear looked great, front was not so great. i like FX45 much more.

Just make sure this is big enough for you. MDX seats 7. this thing seats 5. I love the look of this car and it will undoubtebly help Infiniti even further. Maybe by the time I get my g35coupe, Infiniti's resale value will have increased substantially.

He got his info from a guy posting as DFWInfiniti at freshalloy.com. He's The General manager at Grubbs Infiniti here in the metroplex. He shares info as it comes to him. Met him once at the dealership. Great guy.

You just ruined my dream. Just messin' man. Although seriously, the FX35 no longer seems like it will be an option.

Infiniti should have a large suv in a couple years if that's what you want but then it might be priced out of your range. Probably wont be any less than 45-50k. However, the next pathfinder should have seating for 7. Don't know how much it'll cost though.

The FX Series is so good looking. And Car&Driver even liked it.



When Nissan said this car would show were the sport in SUV came from, I didnt believe them. I was expecting some handling numbers that were good but not all that. But damn check out these numbers:

So how fast is it?? 0-60 in 6.3 sec!!! .87 BIG G's on the track! .87!! How crazy is that for a SUV!?!
